Military blocks Certian sites: Strike Angry

[Lord Winter]

Almost everyone missed this. Soliders can still send email home from the DoD network and if they need to still access youtube and such at Internet cafes.

Memos about the change went out in February, and it took effect last week. It does not affect the Internet cafes that soldiers in Iraq use that are not connected to the Defense Department's network.

The cafe sites are run by a private vendor, FUBI (For US By Iraqis).

Also, the ban also does not affect other sites, such as Yahoo, and does not prevent soldiers from sending messages and photos to their families by e-mail.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they’re being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism. It works the same way in any country.”--Hermann Goring

How very apt. It seems I have heard this somewhere around here. Oh yes, in the US Congress and from the Cheneyites.
